A monoline, hairline italic sans with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, elliptical bowls. Curves are clean and continuous, while joins and terminals stay crisp and understated, often ending in angled cuts rather than flares. Proportions feel tall and lightly condensed, with generous counters and a calm rhythm; circular characters (O, Q, 0) read as slightly oval, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and neatly controlled. Overall spacing appears even and open, reinforcing a delicate, drawing-like texture in text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings such as magazine headlines, lookbooks, brand marks, and refined packaging where a light, upscale presence is desired. It can also work for UI accents or pull quotes when used at larger sizes and with sufficient contrast, rather than for dense body copy.
The font conveys a poised, fashion-forward tone—quietly technical yet graceful. Its thin strokes and steady italic posture suggest speed and sophistication without becoming decorative, giving it a sleek, editorial feel.
The design appears intended to provide a modern italic voice with a highly reduced stroke presence—prioritizing elegance, spatial clarity, and a smooth geometric flow across both uppercase and lowercase.
The hairline weight makes the texture highly dependent on size and contrast; it reads best when given ample whitespace and strong background separation. The numeral set follows the same minimalist, slanted logic, keeping figures light and unobtrusive alongside text.
